A member of the Aspire One User forums has posted a few pictures showing what appears to be an Acer Aspire One with a 6-cell battery. The computer currently ships with a 3-cell battery. In the image above you can see two Aspire One computers, one with the standard battery and the other with the high capacity battery which should provide twice the battery life.

No word on when you’ll be able to pick up a computer with the higher capacity battery or if Acer plans to sell the battery separately. Heck, for all I know this could be a third party battery or a fake. But it sure looks pretty (in that sticking out of the back not-so-pretty way).

Last week a version of the MSI Wind with a 6-cell battery showed up online for $570. While MSI had originally promised to release the Wind with a 6-cell battery for $499, the company scaled back its plans before launch date due to a battery shortage. If you’re lucky enough to have found an MSI Wind in stock pretty much anywhere, odds are you found a 3-cell version for $479 or $499. That led to an obvious question: Had MSI actually raised the price of the 6-cell version, or was one retailer playing fast and loose with the pricing on a rare computer?

Turns out the truth is probably a bit of both. Laptop Magazine is reporting that MSI has confirmed a $50 price hike for the 6-cell Wind. That means you probably won’t find the laptop anywhere for less than $550. No word on why Mwave, the first retailer I’ve found to actually ship a few units before running out of stock, decided to boost the price by an additional $20. My guess? Because they could.
